.....A SHAPED CARD...that’s anything but a square!

This weeks challenge is sponsored by
Ildi Co.
and they are offering one lucky winner the opportunity to choose 5 free digi images from their shop

Ildiko has always been into drawing and art and her sister-in-law Jenny who has been hooked on scrapbooking and stamping since her 6 year old was born, got together and decided that starting a digital stamp company would be great fun to do together. She named it Ildi Co, as a play on words with her actual name "Ildiko". So here we are, a couple of sister-in-laws who are trying to blend our passions and make a dream come alive! Ildi Co started about a month ago and we've already been able to put together a fantastic design team, so now all we need to do is spread the word. Ildi Co will release new images every month, so be sure to watch for them!


The design team have had lots of fun with this challenge and created some amazing inspiration for you....if you want to find out how they made their cards then you can go directly to their individual blogs to find out all the details!
